The patented domed shaped sensor head facilitates runoff of dew and rain, helping to keep the detector clean and minimizing errors caused by dust blocking the radiation path. Sensors are housed in a rugged anodized aluminum body and electronics are fully potted.

Chemically resistant ultrasonic sensors measure fill levels without contact both under normal pressure and at an overpressure of up to 6 bar in tanks and containers. Through the combination of switching and analog output, you can even conduct fill-level and overflow protection simultaneously.

ExpressSense introduces the MINX sensor suite, a plug-and-play sensor solution, featuring five built in sensors, delivering automatically-generated process control charts as a web page, viewable from any network connected device. User configured triggers enable email or text alerts to inform user when specific conditions are detected, or MINX can automatically control another device or machine. MINX can be installed and setup in as little as 10 minutes. MINX includes all hardware and software, plus no subscriptions are needed and all the data is kept locally on the unit for maximum security and value!MINX Sensors: Ambient Temperature & Humidity; Optical distance or count optical events; Measure shock/vibration/acceleration amplitude or count events; Remote Temperature via thermocouple; Measure user supplied external analog sensor (0-5V or 0-20mA), either amplitude or record events .

Rugged and precise – flow measurement technology from SICKSICK provides innovative sensor solutions for flow measurement technology which combine flexible measuring methods and rugged equipment design with cost-efficient connection concepts to integrate higher-level systems. Whether you need to detect the current flow rate value using analog values or find the quantity using pulse detection – SICKs flow sensors are always reliable and safe and can work with a wide range of media under difficult process and ambient conditions.

The Glare sensor detects and distinguishes glare on even surfaces. It also provides maximum reliability and saves costs. Previously, gloss on object surfaces was a disruptive factor that regularly had engineers breaking into a sweat.Now, gloss properties are a distinguishing criterion for process control – regardless of color, transparency or pattern. And it will be engineers’ eyes that shine, not their brows. Equipped with intelligent Delta-S-Technology, Glare is a further milestone in customer-oriented sensor development. Once again, SICK is confirming its leading position in opto-electronic sensors for the detection of a range of objects.

The 3-AXIS MAGNETOMETERS are used for applications such as the measurement and recording of the Earth's magnetic field and the long-term monitoring of the magnetic environment, such as prior to the installation of magnetically sensitive devices and systems. It is also possible to set up sensor networks for measuring complex 3D magnetic field spreads. The sensors can also read and record the magnetic signatures within the scope of the degaussing of maritime vessels and their components.

TI's new millimeter wave (mmWave) single-chip complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) portfolio includes five solutions across two families of 76- to 81-GHz sensors with a complete end-to-end development platform. Available for sampling today, the AWR1x and IWR1x sensor portfolio delivers up to three times more accurate sensing than current mmWave solutions on the market. The combination of sophisticated analog design techniques paired with digital signal processing enables designers to implement intelligent and contactless sensing in their systems.

Linear position sensors with a profile design are contact-free and absolute measurement systems for the precise detection of one or more positions. They deliver convincing performance in harsh environments, for example in presses, injection molding machines or gantry robots, because they are made of an hermetically sealed IP67 aluminum housing. The magnets of the position encoder act on the measurement element through the wall of the profile.

Intelligent solutions for level and point level measurementWhether for continuous level measurement, point level measurement or both – SICK offers a wide range of solutions for process engineering, storage, and protection. Based on the installation situation, medium properties, and environmental conditions, SICK provides sensors that ensure efficient processes. As the provider of one of the broadest technology portfolios, SICK brings its knowledge to the forefront.

digital humidity sensor with integrated temperature sensor that provides excellent measurement accuracy at very low power. The device measures humidity based on a novel capacitive sensor. The humidity and temperature sensors are factory calibrated. The innovative WLCSP (Wafer Level Chip Scale Package) simplifies board design with the use of an ultra-compact package. The sensing element of the HDC1008 is placed on the bottom part of the device, which makes the HDC1008 more robust against dirt, dust, and other environmental contaminants. The HDC1008 is functional within the full 40C to +125C temperature range.

HASO4 FIRST is the ideal choice for results driven professionals in domains including adaptive optics, optical process optimization, laser beam characterization, and many others. Thanks to our patented technology, the HASO family by Imagine Optic are world's only sensors with no bias error, keeping its phase accuracy on any measured intensity profile (Gaussian, Top-Hat, hyper Gaussian, etc.). The USB 3.0 connectivity and the ergonomic design allow an easy plug and play installation of the HASO4 FIRST in any application.

DHE (Differential Hall Effect) sensors give an output when subjected to a changing magnetic field. The field is set up by a magnet inside the sensor body and changes when ferromagnetic teeth are passed beneath the sensor (no magnets are required in the target). To improve noise resistance, the sensor has two Hall effect elements and only responds to changes in magnetic field strength corresponding to tooth passing frequencies above 15Hz. As each tooth passes the sensor, the digital state of the output changes.

At the heart of every Tekscan pressure measurement system is an ultra-thin, tactile pressure sensor. Every Tekscan sensor is comprised of numerous individual sensing elements, or sensels. The sensel density represents the total number of sensels per unit of area. In order to use Tekscan's pressure sensors, you must have a Tekscan pressure measurement system as well as the corresponding sensor map (software driver) for the sensor.
